What gun have you wanted for a long time but just won't spend the money on?

[chris_1001]

Colt Detective Special.

Doooo it!!!

Was one of the first guns I ever wanted a a kid (saw it in a magazine) loved the shrouded barrel. Bought Colt Cobra to hold me over. But still wanted the DS. Held onto the dream then I got a pristine one. No regrets!

Here are both.

 

[alan226]

Colt Diamondback in .22 cal with a 6" barrel.

I snagged a 90%+ Python about 6 years ago for a decent price. Still lust for the Diamondback

Haven't seen any around. When they do come up, they're $2000+ I still would like one, but not at that price point.

I remember going to the shows 20 years ago. You could get an almost new Python for about $700 and a Diamondback for $500 ish.
If I knew then what I know now.....

Oh well....

I can’t justify spending $900-$1000 for a used revolver.

You could spend just a wee bit more on a 1st year Python. Just $32k at this point on Gunbroker.

Colt Python

Same.. I’ve lusted after one and could afford it I just don’t see me using it and I try not to buy anything that I won’t run at least 1k rounds through a year

If you hit the lottery, why settle for the "S" version?

Fair point. If I hit the lottery, i’ll buy you one too, deal? If you’re willing to reciprocate, of course… double our odds…

I said that same thing, once upon a time...

That number after the dollar sign inched higher and higher as time went on. There was a time I thought I would never, ever spend over a thousand on any firearm, ever. LOL!

I don't even want one all that badly, but you've got yourself a DEAL.

HK anything (everything), Chiappa Rhino, one of those semi-custom 1911s in the $2500 range.

 

[Roof gunner]

Nice choice
I've been looking at those for years also.

I agree. Stupid money ! About 5-6 years ago I walked into a gun show at the soccer dome in Plymouth. Lo and behold, there was a mint garande on display for 800$ I decided rite there and then to buy the rifle of my dreams.

I handled one once, and even for an advanced Webley collector like me? I don't think they're worth the money.

Huh..

I really like weird guns. Stuff that makes you say, "huh... so more than one person thought that was a good idea?"

The Webley-Fosbery seems to fall into that bucket. But maybe not worth my $12k or whatever they cost now.

Oh, it's definitely interesting. And certainly worth having... at, say, $2-3k. Or the price of a nice unshaved Webley revolver, plus about a $1,000 premium.

Clearly, that ship sailed a long, long time ago.

I’ve been tossing around the idea of getting a WWII or earlier 1911. Something I’m seriously considering.

Just got rid of one recently, was just more of a safe queen so I threw it on GB.

 

[general disorder]

A Tavor. But I can't justify spending the money on it when I can barely keep my colt 6920 fed. Also a 45/70. But I haven't seen a T-Rex yet.

I was going to buy one of those but then the ATF said I could put my HK sear in it… the manufacture originally stated that you could.
But then the ATF came down and said you can only run a seer in guns that it was originally designed to run in..
At that price it is a perfect host gun.. my HK belt fed was a lot more.

 

[eboos]

Any M1A. Any Czechfoglio production or carry optics pistol. Any centerfire rifle for me would be a bottomless money pit.
